Zamel GPRU-4/18 Heating Cable for Pipes with Thermostat 18W/m 4m

The Zamel GPRU-4/18 heating cable is a specialized solution designed to provide effective frost protection for water pipes in residential and industrial settings. With a total length of 4 meters and a power output of 18W/m, this cable ensures that plumbing systems remain operational even during severe winter conditions. The device features an integrated thermostat that monitors ambient temperature, automatically activating the heating process when necessary to prevent freezing and subsequent pipe damage.

Advantages

This heating cable offers a highly efficient and automated approach to winter pipe maintenance. By utilizing an integrated thermostat, the system operates only when required, which optimizes energy consumption while maintaining the necessary temperature to prevent ice formation. The robust construction ensures durability and reliability in various environments, providing peace of mind by protecting plumbing infrastructure from the costly consequences of frozen or burst pipes.

Suitable for

• Residential water supply pipes
• Outdoor plumbing and garden irrigation systems
• Industrial pipe networks prone to freezing
• Protection of pipes in unheated basements or garages

When it may not be suitable

This product is not intended for use on pipes carrying flammable liquids or gases, as it is specifically engineered for water plumbing systems. Additionally, it should not be installed on pipes that exceed the temperature resistance limits of the cable insulation.

Key specifications

• Length: 4 meters
• Power output: 18W/m
• Integrated thermostat: Yes
• Application: Frost protection for water pipes

How to use

Installation involves securing the heating cable along the length of the pipe, typically using heat-resistant adhesive tape. Ensure that the thermostat sensor is placed in the coldest section of the pipe to allow for accurate temperature detection. Once properly positioned, the cable should be connected to a standard power supply. It is recommended to insulate the pipe and the cable with appropriate thermal insulation material to maximize efficiency and heat retention.

What to consider before purchase

• Measure the exact length of the pipe section requiring protection
• Ensure access to a power outlet near the installation site
• Verify that the pipe material is compatible with electric heating cables

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance and safety, always ensure the cable is not crossed or overlapping itself during installation, as this can lead to localized overheating. Regularly inspect the cable and thermostat before the onset of the winter season to ensure the system is fully functional.
